• Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane is the most popular EPL based on Google searches
• The striker was the second-highest goal-scorer behind Erling Haaland last season
• Transfer interest in Kane by Manchester United is further driving up his popularity

English striker, Harry Kane is the most popular Premier League player, according to research based on Google search rankings in 2023.

The Tottenham Hotspur striker is one of the best stars in the English top flight, despite bearing the stigma of never having won a trophy in his career even as his club and country's all-time top scorer.

Sports Brief looks at the top 10 most searched Premier League stars, including Kane and golden boot winner, Erling Haaland, as researched by OLBG.

1. Harry Kane

The 29-year-old ended the season with 30 goals and missed out on the golden boot to Haaland, who scored 36. The news of his contract negotiation and transfer interest from top clubs possibly drove up searches on him. Kane was searched over 143,000 times monthly on Google and was the most-searched in London, Brighton, Portsmouth, and Southampton.

Liverpool’s £85 million striker is the third-most popular player. Though his first season was not all glitter and gold, after a move from Benfica, he recorded over 115,000 monthly searches and is the most searched in Wrexham, Lancaster, Bradford, and Belfast.
